l'exposition FROM HIS FEET UPWARD INTO A LANDSCAPE OF FLAME à la galerie SOME/THINGS SECRET

Cette exposition célèbrera l'ouverture de la galerie et présentera le travail des photographes Martin d’Orgeval, Julien Claessens, Thomas Deschamps et Monika Bielskyte. SOME/THINGS SECRET se veut le prolongement physique direct de SOME/THINGS MAGAZINE, dont le troisième volume - ISSUE003 / FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE - a été publié en septembre dernier.


Martin d’Orgeval, photographe parisien, exposera les récents travaux issus de ses séries intitulées 'Daguerreotype', projet en collaboration avec Anna Pahlavi. Utilisant une technique photographique du 19ème siècle, les clichés 'Daguerreotype' d'Orgeval évoquent des visions de lieux, tel un souvenir revenant à la mémoire ou émergeant de sphères intuitives. Les séries de taxidermie Deyrolle par Martin d’Orgeval sont présentées dans SOME/THINGS MAGAZINE ISSUE003. Il a également collaboré exclusivement avec SOME/THINGS sur un projet de livre de photographies rares et recherchées (incluant des oeuvres telles que 'Toshi-e' de Yutaka Takanashi, 'Labyrinthe' de Richard Long et 'Sea of Buddhas' d'Hiroshi Sugimoto.) Martin d’Orgeval termine actuellement un travail sur un livre consacré à l’influent photographe Robert Frank, qui sera publié aux éditions Steidl. Ses photographies et travaux ont été présentés aux Etats-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne, en Italie, en Allemagne et en France, notamment à la Maison Européenne de la Photographie et à la galerie Ghislaine Hussenot à Paris.


Julien Claessens est un photographe français installé en Belgique. Les clichés intimes de ses amis et de ses amants, teintés d'une sombre lumière, traduisent un humanisme au delà des mots, à la fois sensuel et dérangeant. Claessens est connu pour avoir collaboré avec le designer Olivier Theyskens sur son livre intitulé 'The Other Side Of The Picture', publié aux éditions Assouline. C'est la première fois que son travail sera exposé à Paris, donnant suite aux expositions à la galerie Le Réverbère à Lyon et au Salon d’Art de Bruxelles. Les photographies du français Thomas Deschamps saisissent les détails -en apparence- sans vie du quotidien; en résulte de délicates natures mortes d’une incroyable beauté et des intérieurs figés dans une ambiance grise et fantomatique. SOME/THINGS MAGAZINE ISSUE003 / FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE consacre un long sujet de 22 pages au duo Julien Claessens et Thomas Deschamps, qui travaillent ensemble depuis plus de 15 ans.


L’artiste lituanienne Monika Bielskyte, exposera le CHAPITRE 2 de son projet intitulé 'A PLACE TO WASH THE HEART', retraçant 4 années de photographies au Cambodge, au Vietnam, en Sibérie, au Pérou, au Chili et en Bolivie. Grandes boîtes lumineuses, projections de vidéos et photographies de Potosi, l'une des plus anciennes mines d’argent au monde, située à 4700 mètres endessous du niveau de la mer et tristement célèbre pour ses épouvantables conditions de travail. Les tons riches et intenses des photographies de Monika Bielskyte font écho aux représentations baroques de la chair humaine et des entrailles et à la brutalité exacerbée de la peinture catholique traditionnelle d'Amérique du sud. Monika Bielskyte, qui vit à Paris depuis 2005, a exposé à Foam [Amsterdam Photography Museum], à la Vartai Gallery [Vilnius], dans le cadre des Rencontres D’Arles et de la Nuit Blanche à Paris, au Three Shadows Photography Art Centre [Beijing], à la Royal Academy of Arts [London] et à la National Gallery of Art [Vilnius].


La programmation d’art contemporain de la galerie SOME/THINGS SECRET est orchestrée par Raina Lampkins-Fielder grâce à l’aide des collaborateurs et membres de l’équipe SOME/THINGS.


En plus d'être une galerie, SOME/THINGS SECRET sera une boutique privée, un espace de création, et un showroom/studio destiné à l'usage exclusif des clients. L’espace accueillera environ six expositions par an et ouvrira ses portes à l'occasion de la Fashion Week de Paris, de la FIAC et du salon de la photographie Paris Photo. Des performances artistiques ou musicales auront lieux chaque mois.

FROM HIS FEET UPWARD INTO A LANDSCAPE OF FLAME / SOME/THINGS SECRET 7-9PM, November 19, 2010

SOME/THINGS inaugural exhibition, titled FROM HIS FEET UPWARD INTO A LANDSCAPE OF FLAME, will feature the work of photographers MARTIN D’ORGEVAL, JULIEN CLAESSENS, THOMAS DESCHAMPS, & MONIKA BIELSKYTE at the new SOME/THINGS gallery — SOME/THINGS SECRET — on November 19, 2010.



OPENS 7-9PM FRIDAY NOVEMBER 19, 2010 UNTIL JANUARY 16, 2011 [BY APPOINTMENT ONLY]

SOME/THINGS SECRET 16 VILLA GAUDELET 75011 PARIS



Following the launch of SOME/THINGS ISSUE003 / FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE in September, SOME/THINGS SECRET will act as a physical extension of the publication, exhibiting works featured within its pages as well as projects & pieces commissioned exclusively for SOME/THINGS by artists & designers.



Paris-based photographer MARTIN D’ORGEVAL will exhibit new work from his daguerreotype series, a collaborative project with Anna Pahlavi. Using a 19th century photographic technique, d’Orgeval’s daguerreotypes evoke visions of place— as they emerge from memory or from a more intuitive sphere. D’Orgeval’s Deyrolle taxidermy series was featured in ISSUE003; he has also collaborated exclusively with SOME/THINGS on a project featuring some of the most rare & sought after photographic books (including Yutaka Takanashi's Toshi-e, Richard Long's Labyrinth & Hiroshi Sugimoto's Sea of Buddhas). D’Orgeval is currently finishing work on a book about influential photographer Robert Frank, to be published by Steidl. His photography has been shown in the US, UK, Italy, Germany & France including the Maison Européenne de la Photographie & the Galerie Ghislaine Hussenot in Paris.



JULIEN CLAESSENS is a French photographer based in Belgium. His intimate photographs of his friends & lovers, bathed in dark light, convey an otherworldly humanism that is at once disturbing & sensual. Claessens is noted for his collaboration with designer OLIVIER THEYSKENS for Theyskens’ book The Other Side of the Picture, published by Assouline. It will be the first time his work is shown in Paris, after previous exhibitions at galerie le réverbère in Lyon & salon d'art in Brussels. France-based THOMAS DESCHAMPS’ photographs capture the seemingly lifeless & mundane details of everyday life, resulting in incredibly delicate & beautiful still lifes & ghostly interiors in shades of grey. Images by Julien Claessens & Thomas Deschamps, who have worked together for over 15 years, were featured in an extensive 22-page article in SOME/THINGS MAGAZINE ISSUE003 / FARWELL MY CONCUBINE.



Lithuanian-born artist, MONIKA BIELSKYTE will exhibit work from CHAPTER 2 of her project A PLACE TO WASH THE HEART, shot over the last four years in Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Siberia, Peru, Chile & Bolivia. Featuring large format light boxes, video projections, & photographs taken in Potosí, one of the oldest silver mines in the world, 4000 metres above sea level & known for some of the most gruesome working conditions. The rich & exquisite colours resemble a Baroque depiction of human flesh & innards so common & brutally exacerbated in traditional South American Catholic religious art. Bielskyte, who has been based in Paris since 2005, has had work shown at Foam [Amsterdam Photography Museum], Vartai Gallery [Vilnius], Rencontres D’Arles, Paris Nuit Blanche, Three Shadows Photography Art Centre [Beijing], Royal Academy of Arts [London], & National Gallery of Art [Vilnius].



Contemporary art programs at SOME/THINGS SECRET are organised by Raina Lampkins-Fielder with the assistance of contributors, collaborators & the SOME/THINGS team.



In addition to a gallery, SOME/THINGS SECRET will operate as a private boutique, creative environment & showroom/studio for exclusive use by clients.



The space will host around six exhibitions per year with openings during Paris Fashion Week, FIAC & Paris Photo, as well as monthly music & performance events.
